Winemaking
Fermentation was initiated at 24-26° C 97% stainless steel and 3% in used barrels, but the temperature was decreased afterwards in order to avoid excessive extraction of the elements in the skins. The wine was aged in for 12 months in barrel, 13% new french oak.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of medium intensity appear swiftly on the nose, reminding of blackberries, red currants and cassis. Give way to spicy notes of cinnamon, black pepper and tobacco leaves. As the wine opens in the glass, slight hints of caramel, complemented by sour cherries, show up. Well balanced and with great volume, the wine shows soft tannins and a crisp acidity that form a great structure on the palate and allow predicting a long ageing potential.
